Summer Salad Bonanza: Fresh, mouth-watering Choices

Summer salads are a delightful medley of fresh ingredients, bursting with vibrant colors and flavors that perfectly capture the essence of the season. Crisp lettuce leaves, juicy tomatoes, and crunchy cucumbers form the base, complemented by an array of seasonal vegetables like bell peppers, radishes, and sweet corn. These salads are a great addition to protein-rich mains such as grilled chicken or shrimp, topped with creamy avocado slices or tangy feta cheese. Dressed lightly with citrus vinaigrettes or herb-infused olive oil, summer salads are not just refreshing but also nutritious, offering a perfect balance of textures and tastes that celebrate the abundance of summer produce.

The best Mango Salsa

Ever been excited for mango salsa only to be disappointed at the amount of added sugar? Biggest disappointment ever! With this recipe, you’ll never need to be need to feel that level of defeat ever again.

This salsa pairs well with my adobo tacos or any grilled/roasted meats but is also just as delicious on it’s own. Using the freshest ingredients only makes this salsa that much better.

Fresh Ingredients

  • Mango – the key is to use mangoes that aren’t too ripe
  • Tomatoes – suggest to use roma tomatoes that aren’t too soft
  • Cilantro – adds a key flavor to all salsas
  • Onion – yellow or red onions will work well with this
  • Jalapeno – adds a nice kick but can be omitted if preferred
  • Lime – brings out all the flavors

Roughly chop the above ingredients into a bowl and enjoy the sugar free goodness!
